Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.1.70-14.8 on July 3nd, 2013 (Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories). Based on MySQL 5.1.70, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.1.70-14.8 is now the current stable release in the 5.1 series. All of Percona‘s software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.1.70-14.8 milestone at Launchpad.

Bugs Fixed:

• Prevented a race condition that could lead to a server crash when querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table. Bug fixed #1072573.
• When an upgrade was performed between major versions (e.g. by uninstalling a 5.1 RPM and then installing a 5.5 one), mysql_install_db was still called on the existing data directory which lead to re-creation of the test database. Bug fixed #1169522.
• Fixed the upstream bug #68354 that could cause server to crash when performing update or join on Federated and MyISAM tables with one row, due to a bug in the Federated storage engine. Bug fixed #1182572.

Other bug fixes: bug fixed #1191395.
